Professional collaboration is the cornerstone of our service, with our established professional networks and partnership based approach setting us apart in our marketplace.

Our Partners and Associates have extensive professional networks built up through decades of working across senior level appointments. We are highly effective at leveraging these networks to match clients with the candidates best suited to the role and to their business. A significant proportion of successfully placed candidates come through referrals from partners in our networks. Our established professional connections also enable us to rapidly source interim solutions for critical roles and mission specific assignments.

The effectiveness of our collaborative approach is consistently demonstrated by the high levels of repeat client engagement we enjoy. Of the clients we partner with, 75% go on to work with us again within 12 months. We enjoy intimate long-term relationships with many of our clients, partnering with them on a variety of assignments as their businesses develop. We share the commitment of our clients and candidates to their long-term success and work closely with them to achieve their ambitions, building lasting relationships to meet future objectives. Every client is distinct and every brief unique, so we tailor our services, delivering a bespoke, focused and flexible methodology that meets specific needs throughout the Search and selection process and evolves as required.
